Summary

An overview of the tremendous potential of organic electronics, concentrating on those emerging topics and technologies that will form the focus of research over the next five to ten years. The young and energetic team of editors with an excellent research track record has brought together internationally renowned authors to review up-and-coming topics, some for the first time, such as organic spintronics, iontronics, light emitting transistors, organic sensors and advanced structural analysis. As a result, this book serves the needs of experienced researchers in organic electronics, graduate students and post-doctoral researchers, as well as scientists active in closely related fields, including organic chemical synthesis, thin film growth and biomaterials.

Author Biography

Fabio Cicoira is a Researcher at the Institute of Materials for Electronics and Magnetism of the National Research Council of Italy in Parma. He obtained his academic degrees at the University of Bologna (Italy) and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology of Lausanne (Switzerland). He has been a visiting scientist at Cornell University and at University of Montreal. He has co-authored over 40 publications and has been awarded by the prestigious Marie Curie Fellowship of the European Community in 2007.

Clara Santato (PhD in Chemistry) is, since August 2007, Assistant Professor at the Department of Engineering Physics of Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal (EPM). Before her appointment as Assistant Professor, she worked as Permanent Research Scientist for the National Research Council of Italy. She has been visiting scientist at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and at Purdue University. Her background is in: Organic Electronics: she pioneered the design, fabrication, and optoelectronic characterization of Organic Light Emitting Field Effect Transistors; Materials Science: she synthesized and characterized nanostructured materials for applications in photoelectrochemical solar energy conversion by scanning probe microscopy, Raman micro-spectroscopy, and grazing incidence x-ray diffraction.
